[ovs-dev] [PATCH v4 5/5] dpif-netdev: do hw flow offload in another thread

Currently, the major trigger for hw flow offload is at upcall handling,
which is actually in the datapath. Moreover, the hw offload installation
and modification is not that lightweight. Meaning, if there are so many
flows being added or modified frequently, it could stall the datapath,
which could result to packet loss.
To diminish that, all those flow operations will be recorded and appended
to a list. A thread is then introduced to process this list (to do the
real flow offloading put/del operations). This could leave the datapath
as lightweight as possible.
